Denver Man Sued Over Bible-Pusher's Penis

DENVER (EAP)
-- A Denver man who makes his living going door to door
selling personalized Bibles is suing another Denver man after being
asked to drop his pants to show his penis to one of his prospective
customers.

"My face turned red and I didn't know what to say or do," says Alan
Wolfridge, 25, who has been selling Bibles with personal inscriptions
and family trees printed in the front of them for the last five years.

"I have several different versions of the Bible for sale, and am a
non-denominational Christian myself, and when I went to the door of
Juan Ricovez last February, he asked me to drop my pants and show him
my penis, to make sure that I was circumcised and a true follower of
Abraham," Wolfridge said.

"I was just trying to make sure he wasn't an imposter or a pretended
believer in the books he was selling, and wasn't trying to get some
perverted look at his penis or private parts for no good reason,"
Ricovez said.

"I asked the same thing of a man begging for money at a local
corner store that I frequent when he said that if I gave him $2.00 for
gas to get back home, the god of Abraham would bless me in the afterlife.

"I'm a natural-born skeptic, and if that makes me gay or queer or a
sexual predator, then so be it," Ricovez said.

"All I was trying to do was make another sale so I could pay my rent
and feed my family, and then I was humiliated and harassed by Mr.
Ricovez, and feel that I'm due some type of monetary re-payment or
compensation for my total embarrassment and humiliation," Wolfridge said.

"My face turned as red as the blood of Christ when Mr. Recovez asked
me to drop my pants and show him my penis, and that should be worth at
least a few thousand dollars," he said.

"This is gonna be a tough case," says Luey Estron, who decided to
defend Ricovez and his right to demand to look at the penis of any
man who shows up on his doorstep or at some other location if they
claim to be believers in the god of Abraham.

"If they're true believers, then they should have no problem dropping
their pants," Estron said.

"It's a cut and dry case," says prosecuting attorney Marty Mangrum, who
claims that Ricovez is an obvious sexual predator or prevert of some kind.
